Visas for Kazakhstan
If you're travelling on a Canadian passport and are spending time and eventually money on acquiring a Kazakhstan visa, you may want to hold off
As of Nov. 14, 2016, I received confirmation from Visa Services of Canada that Canada will be part of the visa exemption program after Jan. 1, 2017.
So if you're travelling to Kaz after the 2017 new year, you may not need a visa.
I would definitely check in with the Kaz embassy in Ottawa (613-695-8055) but this is what I received in an e-mail from Visa Services of Canada:
I am just back from Kazakhstan, and they are rolling out the visa-free entry as of the new year. Enjoy.
Ensure you have a newer valid passport and a lot of extra passport-style photos. You will need all of the paperwork for the motorcycle, including ownership, registration, insurance, intl driving permit. You might consider having it in Russian. Check back closer to the date to ensure it happens.
Cheers,
Heather
